What is Self- Hypnosis?

Self-hypnosis is a technique of putting oneself in a trance state, so one can make positive suggestions to oneself. It might sound a bit difficult to put yourself into a trance, but it is actually not as hard as it sounds. As human beings, we all go in and out of mild trances throughout the day. When you fall asleep at night, you are also going into a light trance state.

The human brain operates on brain waves, the normal “waking” brain waves are called beta waves, and the next level down is alpha waves, followed by theta waves and then delta waves. Beta waves are the fastest waves out of these four, while delta waves being the slowest. To take oneself down into a trance state, one needs to come out of beta into alpha and ideally down into theta. You don’t need to go all the way down to delta or you will fall asleep.

After you have practiced hypnosis for a certain period of time and know what it feels to be in a hypnotic state, you can learn to give yourself a simple command such as “relax” and enter that state easily and swiftly. Though it requires a little practice. One doesn’t need dialog. This relaxed state without dialog can be quite helpful, simply because of the deep relaxation one achieves. It is in this state that your subconscious mind can bring some of your more hidden ideas to your mind so you can address them. Once you have practiced hypnosis for a certain period of time, you will know what being in a hypnotic state feels like. One learns to instruct themselves through simple commands like “relax” and go into that state quickly and easily with a little practice. After a certain period, you will not need narration anymore. This relaxed state with no conversation can be very helpful as one can simply achieve deep relaxation through this. In this situation, your subconscious mind can draw some of your more concealed ideas to your attention so one can deal with them

Self-hypnosis can serve as a superb tool for self-improvement. It helps you set goals for personal development. It is quite startling to know how easily one can learn and practice self-hypnosis. This, in turn, makes it easier to do a lot of things as well.

How self-hypnosis helps in improving memory and learning ability?

Motivation is psychological trait that comes from within. It is not enough to know the benefits of being successful but improving your memory and learning that will actually help you succeed and is equally important. It is important to have a strong desire to achieve those benefits. If one has too many desires, they compete for your time and it makes it difficult to focus. The aspirations can lose their influence and probably only a few will be accomplished. In that case, priorities need to be set. Once you do that, self-hypnosis can help strengthen those priorities and reinforce your focus.

Confidence is developed with a series of achievements and rewards. It is essential to set short-term goals as steps to achieve your ultimate goal. Each time one achieves a goal; they you should recognize your success and reward themselves. Self-hypnosis can help set up this sort of practice in your attitude and form a habit eventually. One can improve their study habits through time management and by getting rid of distractions. Poor time management can be exhausting emotionally and physically. Time management means organizing your work; dividing bigger assignments into smaller tasks that could be completed easily. Select a location that could be devoted solely to study in order to eliminate distractions and Go to that very place just to study and leave when it becomes difficult to concentrate or when are through with studying for that day. Keep that place free from all distractions, i.e., no phone, TV, family members or friends.

Improving learning has so many benefits and you can complete your assignments more quickly, and you feel more confident. This enhanced confidence makes one feel at ease at their learning environment and enhances their learning ability.
